    It is not the case that A probative system need not be relativistically fundamental to be suitable for determining spacetime structure, only reliable and systematically correctable.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Non-fundamental systems may succeed locally but fail at boundaries where hidden assumptions break down; reliability without fundamentality creates illusion of understanding without actual knowledge.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Systematic correctability assumes we can always identify errors from within the system; but non-fundamental frameworks may be systematically blind to structural limitations of their own categories.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Spacetime structure has intrinsic ontological content; determining it requires frameworks aligned with reality's actual constitution, not merely instrumentally useful approximations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Ptolemaic astronomy successfully predicted celestial positions without relativistic foundations, proving empirical reliability transcends theoretical fundamentality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Self-correction mechanisms (independent verification, calibration standards) can eliminate systematic errors regardless of whether the underlying framework is metaphysically foundational.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Spacetime structure is empirically accessible only through measurement outcomes; whether those outcomes derive from fundamental or emergent processes is epistemically secondary to their consistency.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
